Re: GTKY
I spend the better part of my time this weekend roasting in the hot sun, working on my tan. I did clean up the garden shed a bit, but in term of house work and accomplishing anything I didn't do a thing. I did enjoy my lazy time out in the yard watching my girls play.
TTC only since Dec 2015. I had some weight to get off. Been working hard in the gym for over a year.

IT'S A BOY!!!
I had a relaxing weekend. Talked to my manager on Friday about how being back on the salon has been a lot harder on me than I expected. She said she's definitely noticed and immediately gave me Saturdays off. Permanently. Even though that's my big money day, it's a huge relief. Weekends are far to chaotic and I can't keep up. So I spent my Saturday relaxing and got some time with my husband.
Sunday we we went to my parent's for dinner like we always do. They took us out for an amazing sushi dinner to celebrate my graduation. We ended up in East Lansing, which was fun. I haven't been there since I dropped out of Michigan State. It was fun to show my husband and son my old dorm and some of the places I used to go when I was in college. The community college I just graduated from was much less exciting to show off. Lol
Sunday was shopping at ikea and playing outside
The nursery is painted with the base coat and on Sunday I hit Lowe's to pick up the paints for the mountain mural and then spent most of the day laundering all the hand-me-down clothes, sorting them by size, and putting them in appropriate drawers. Now I'm on the search for a nice drawer divider system for the sock/leggings/hat/hair ribbon drawer and also an affordable but cute (and not all pink) bow headband making kit because I decided I'm going to do an anatomy reveal at the shower by bringing my own "game" to play where anyone who wants to can make a signature hair bow since God knows no babies in his or my family seem to have any hair until they're 2.
Sunday was spent cooking dinner for my two best friends - one of whom had a baby last month, and the other who just got matched with a residency at Harvard and will be moving in two weeks. I'm so happy for her but I'm going to miss her so much!
Yesterday we went to another one of my friend's birthday cookout. His dad is from Mexico, and may I just say Mexicans throw the BEST cookouts! Had a great time, haven't been around any of my friends in a good long while so it was nice
We bought him a cool t-shirt and some awesome socks and wrapped his gift box in masking and electrical tape. Made him work for the goods haha
yesterday i I drove to Manhattan to visit w cousin and aunt and uncle and then had chinese w my parents for dinner
now I'm in court and the judge is out. fml

I went and got my hair done on Saturday and when I got home DH was out in the hammock so we snuggled up in that an took a nap. It was wonderful! On Sunday, we went to a minor league baseball game, then cookout and games with friends. It was kind of a perfect weekend
So that's pretty much it, but in the spirit of "GTKY," I'll elaborate. My MIL (flash back to the Knot with that abbreviation!) works for the local Ford dealership and she gets me in on car part inventories on weekends. It's the perfect weekend gig- completely mindless and pays well. I had an inventory Saturday from 7am til 5pm and one Sunday from 7am til 2pm. And POOF- the weekend was over.
Oh I forgot, I did get a pedicure Saturday after the inventory. It was glorious!
Sunday nothing...it was rainy and glorious! Even got a nap in on the couch!
Saturday and Sunday, the girls were at grandparents' house, so we took naps and had a date night. Sunday we cleaned the house.
Was a great weekend! Weekends are typically so busy!

I did realize at one point that I was too old/sober/pregnant to deal with all the twenty-somethings in their cut-off shorts, cowboy boots, itty-bitty shirts, and matching ray bans, ugh. One of them ran into me & didn't say excuse me and I got rage-y. No ma'am, not acceptable. She got an earful. Which was better than what happened to a friend of hers. (I'm going on a rabbit trail here but bear with me!) Another friend of mine was standing in a crowd of people & a guy dropped his full beer, which proceeded to splash up, under her dress & made quite the mess. Beer was literally running down her legs. My friend was like, "Really?!" after the guy didn't apologize, and the girl he was with just laughed and said, "Get over it bitch!" Soo...my friend went & got a cup of ice water, went back to the crowd, and tapped the girl on the shoulder, and when she turned around, she proceeded to dump the entire cup of water on her head. Her perfectly curled, every hair in place, head. She started throwing a tantrum and my friend said, "Get over it bitch" and walked away. Greatness! This actually made my day.
But a huge plus was one of our little girls adoption was finalized. Technically she left today but her new mama was around all day Sunday with her. It's always a happy/sad day knowing we'll miss them but they belong in a family.

IT'S A BOY!!!
We did a lot of yard work Saturday and Sunday, and I replanted some hostas and DH and I made a new garden strip for some sunflowers. I did grocery shopping yesterday and we devoured some cupcakes. Of course, we finished the weekend off with GoT and Penny Dreadful.
Saturday, we had our anatomy scan.
Sunday morning, I went to a spin/pilates class and then we strung up the deck lights. I am so ready for the summer, and so over these cold May Gray days.
Ready for some lovely dinner parties and warm summer nights!
Sat- hibachi with my sister/BIL and husband where she gave me a HUGE bag of maternity clothes. So thankful for having a sister who wears the same size as me/already was pregnant. At night we went to NY to meet my inlaws at a restaurant where the wait is always over an hr and they don't take reservations. Baby and I were starving by the time we sat down at 9!
Sun- went to IKEA to take advantage of the family discount on Hemnes dressers- using the 8 drawer one in the nursery as our changing table.
Other than that, we really didn't do much. I went grocery shopping. That's it.
Me: 28 DH: 27
Then later in the day we went to the graduation for the high school DH works for. Then left to go to his family's/our friends' town 4 hrs away for our gender reveal.
Sunday- Met up with my BFF for breakfast who couldn't attend the party and gave her the secret gender news first. Then my family came into town for the party and we showed both sides the new rental house. THEN came time for gender reveal! We still haven't told our families that we've known since 13 weeks, and we probably won't (we claimed the doctor mailed the bakery, and we totally faked our surprised faces at the cake color) We just wanted to keep a little secret, sweet, private token for ourselves in all this public craziness!
Our weekends are Sunday Monday, so Saturday I worked and then went shopping for a new bathing suit and realized that apparently because I'm pregnant I now need to wear bright prints and florals. I'm more of a black and flannel type of girl. WTF. After a couple store fails, I went up to the lady at destination maternity and was like "Do you have any bathing suits in PLAIN BLACK?" Luckily they had ONE, and it fit and was cute enough. Mine.
Sunday we took a day trip to Catalina Island to visit my friends who lives there. We had a lovely day gallivanting around the backside of the island before stopping in to say hi with some other friends, hitting up one of my fav burger places there and heading home.
